Today is a special day for two reasons....

1st of all today is my beautiful, wonderful, very talented, caring, giving, etc....Mom's birthday! If you do not know my Momma I am so sorry. She is all those things and more. She makes our family what it is today.
Happy birthday Momma! We love you!!!!!



*2nd of all it is Miss Jolie's 10 month birthday. *

Here is a picture of Jolie's favorite facial expression right now.

Look at these cute little pigtails she wore today for the first time. Cute huh?


Jaelynn and Jake used to love playing with the kitchen. I cleaned it up and now look who likes playing with it too.




Here is a list of things she is keeping us busy with right now:


*she loves EATING!!!! She eats everything we eat, even asparagus. I am telling you this child is NOT picky.


*she is a cruising everywhere. My goodness she is SO fast crawling. Jason nicknamed her "Scooter".


*she pulls up and gets from thing to thing.


*she can stand up by herself in the middle of the floor, but not constantly.


*she has taken a step two different times.


*anything goes in her mouth and I mean ANYTHING!!!!


*is infatuated with outlets and light switches.


*laughs and smiles all the time (very rarely cries,but yes of course it does happen).


*she weighs 15lbs 13 1/2oz which is only 4% for her age. (They did blood work to make sure she is getting all the nutrients from me. Since, I am still nursing.)


*she is 28in which is 58% for her age. (Tall and skinny like her daddy)


*she waves to say hi and bye.


*she has a few phrases and words she is saying...."hi dere", what tat?", "all done (with the sign)", momma, dada, jaja, and something for my mom.


*she loves drinking from a straw.


*she loves her blankie.


*she is getting her two canine teeth. You can see the white really good on one and almost on the other. So, that will make 6 teeth.


Well, I think that is about it for now. We are so blessed to see this silly girl with such a great personality blossom everyday.

Love the tribute to your sweet mom. What a blessing to have known her all these years. :)

Jack has always been long and skinny...off the chart (or in the 5th percentile) for weight up until his 12mo. check up, when he finally made it into the 10th percentile.

Love your pics!
